Ok first I don't want to get flamed because I didn't think this was a male jag, but after seeing the jag that i gave my girlfriend I can see that mine is definitely male and hers is definitely a female.
He is very peaceful, at least for a jag. Out of all the fish in my 125 (oscar, sev, snook, and sal) he is the lowest on the pecking order and the 2nd biggest. He flares his gills up, and he opens his mouth, and even the smallest severum just bites his bottom lip with his little tiny mouth and the jag goes running (well swimming).
I was contemplating taking the severum that is half his size out for aggression.
He (jag) is about 6-7 inches, and I know I probably won't be able to keep him forever, but has anyone ever had a peaceful male jag like this??? I talked to my LFS and they have never seen a peaceful jag, one of the owners has one that bites his hands when he cleans his 125. Do they have teeth though? Because it seems the severum always wins the lip locks but i can see teeth on the severum, not on the jag. That would make sense if they don't have teeth why he loses all the lip locks.
The aggression hasn't been constant between the 2 though, just when I moved the oscar out of the 75 to the 125 they started all competing again, and then when I moved them all to the 125.
